You are definately a nation with lots of war victories through time, you are also a nation with a great deal of pride and belief. I really do hope and pray that the victory over the LTTE will come soon. And i mean finish them.. Not just a ceasefire.
excuse my ignorance machan.. Who are the IPKF? (international peace keeping force?)
IPKF stands for Indian Peace Keeping Force!
CFA was a joke from the day it was enforced! Even a toddler in Sri Lanka would tell you why a CFA is needed for LTTE, it gives them time to refuel, lick their wounds, reload and kill more civilians and make more havoc! This has been their agenda all the time, I'm not saying this just for the sake of saying it, there are numbers to prove it!
We wage WAR not because we want to kill them, we don't believe in violence but they gave us no option, everything else is already tried.. and people who fail to see the difference between a terrorist problem and a ethnic problem will always stand in our way! We need a war to bring them down to their knees! That's what we need the WAR for, anyone not even a beast as long as it is powerful would surrender!! If talks doesn't work.. what else is there? When the CFA was in effect still people were dying in both South and North, Bombs went off in Colombo and other places, Politicians died.. so what's difference?
All this NGO's call out saying human rights being abused etc. and they often talk only with regard to Tamils, what about Sinahlese and other minorities human rights? They dont even talk about LTTE's child combatant's rights, neither does LTTE themselves! Who will pay for what has been robbed of them?
All this because those politicians back in the 1950's who asked for very unfair 50-50 representation where in country which is more than 80% of Sinhalese at that time!! Which country would allow that? That's looting power!! And what's stated by LTTE as a fight to gain Tamil's rights grown into a Tamil Motherland concept!! How funny!!
And not to mention lot of Tamils even though they have no problem in South living with Sinhalese made this WAR a scapegoat to seek asylum in countries especially like UK, and once gone there started funding terrorism here!! While distributing mass propaganda!! Its very hard for us Sri Lankans because we are up against 80million worldwide Tamils as we are a mere 19 million or less... Propaganda travels fast and we need to act if we are to save what's ours! By the way there's no historical evidence to suggest that Sri Lanka was ever a Tamil land I challenge anybody who reads this can find me if there is, which they are desperately trying to prove!
One last thing, English knew this all along! People like C.P.Bell who led expeditions into the heart of lost ruins of Sinhalese civilization knew this!! and many more!!
So this is the sad situation, I thought of posting it down for you so that next time you are confronted with pro-terrorist propaganda you are educated as to what's happening!!
As for your "massinas" in the Army, they are our heroes.. and they will always be!!
